Wild body

wild mind

A weekend of free, 5 Rhythmstm dance and creative
writing

with Cora Greenhill

August 11 - 13

An invitation to explore the interplay between free dance and spontaneous
writing.

Just as we can release the beauty of the inner dancer by paying non-judgemental
attention to the body’s impulses in movement, so we can still the mind,
quieten the critics, and find the place where words can fall onto the page
like ripe apples to the ground. Words can then be spoken with the simple
yet powerful presence that comes from the aliveness of the dancing body.
You may feel comfortable with either dance or writing or both, or have
a terror of one and want to explore the edge between them.

You are welcome to come and play exactly as you are, to take risks that
can help to heal that ancient divide between body, spirit and mind we have
all suffered from. We will move inside to music, and outside to feel our
connection to the elements in nature.

Cora Greenhill
has been dancing with Gabrielle Roth and her teachers in Britain and
America for many years, and has been accredited to teach the 5 Rhythmstm
since 1994. She has a background in literature and humanistic psychotherapy.
Cora is also a poet, having published two collections, Dreadful Work (1989)
and Deep in Time (1999). Her writing is strongly influenced by the dance,
her connection to nature and her sense of the returning Goddess. She also
teaches in the north of England and in Crete.
